VaultSync 1.7.3 is out — Linux beta builds are here

VaultSync 1.7.3 is out.

This is a pretty important one because it also marks the first proper Linux launch for VaultSync.

For this release, Linux builds are now shipped as actual release assets:

• linux-x64.tar.gz
• linux-arm64.tar.gz
• linux-x64.AppImage

So Linux is no longer sitting in the “maybe later” category — there is now a real path for people to try it properly.

A big part of that is thanks to JustH8Me. Most of the Linux-focused work in this release came from him, and it made a real difference.

That includes work on:

• tray panel screen detection and reopen behavior
• Linux / Wayland positioning fixes
• tooltip flickering and focus issues on Wayland
• a fatal AccessViolationException during backup on Linux x64
• passwords being saved as "null" on Linux
• false “Reachable” status on read-only directories
• UI list flickering on Linux

Outside of Linux, 1.7.3 also includes a few nice fixes and quality-of-life improvements:

• the in-app log console now has an explicit Auto-scroll toggle
• you can now copy the selected log line with a button or the normal platform shortcut
• Settings now refreshes persisted values correctly after config reloads
• startup now repairs blank project root paths from the configured Projects root when possible
• Backup All and auto-backup no-change runs now create real first backup artifacts instead of empty destination folders
• metadata import / restore-needed handling is now more accurate
• background settings saves now preserve existing roots and advanced destinations during transient blank UI states
• command state refreshes now marshal back to Avalonia’s UI thread
• individual project backup buttons now resolve destinations from the latest saved config
• project auto-backup settings now export through metadata before the first backup

This one has a lot of “under the hood” work in it, but a lot of it matters directly for reliability.

If you try the Linux beta, definitely let me know how it behaves on your setup.

And a special thanks again to JustH8Me — most of the Linux work in this release came from him, and it helped move VaultSync forward in a big way.

As always, keep backing up your data.
